I don’t know if it’ll help any, but I maintain a solid handful of group chats with friends of mine from years long past.

I don’t have a social media pretense at all, and the “intimate” nature of a “raw” group chat has helped me, personally, keep in touch with people I otherwise wouldn’t have.
curious how you could help to build apps that leverage chatbots + data APIs. specifically, how does it handle workflows involving both structured (eg CRM data) and unstructured (eg chat logs) sources? Can it integrate real-time triggers or long-running processes, like dynamically responding to client actions or data thresholds? Excited to see how it simplifies the dev process!
I listened to a few of the songs and I could definitely believe they are AI. They are extremely clean, near-identical covers, like karaoke versions I guess. If Spotify is funding these, that means they would be trying to poach money directly from the biggest artists/companies. That seems like a much bigger controversy than creating generic background music and spreading that around their algorithms.

Not even a tiny bit surprised given their pricing [0]. The only thing you're getting with those rates are juniors with questionable training and worse supervision. Likely outsourced to a cheap country on top of it.

As a reference point their MONTHLY rate would get you 1-2 hours of senior associate time at a B4 provider.

It's the equivalent of hopping onto fiverr and hiring a coder after sorting by low price, and then being surprised when you receive LLM code that doesn't compile. It's entirely your own fault if you thought that would work...

I have never thought of this and it's brilliant. I should definitely be able to whip up a relatively simple script for tagging arbitrary files with arbitrary tags. I was wondering how to achieve something like this for backup purposes and this should make it a breeze.

I get it. I lived part of my life in Southern Ontario and knew a bunch of people from Waterloo and surrounding areas — absolutely brilliant mechanical minds. (Farmers truly make great engineers — in fact many famous American engineers trace their roots to farming communities in Wisconsin or some such).

But suppose you were interested in Rousseau or Great Books. You wouldn’t find too many people willing to connect on that. But in a big city you will find both types and more.
Been there done that several times over. One PT bookkeeper would only do books if they also got paid to process payroll which like the books was always behind. They did a good job on the books but I have small brick and mortar biz's. While I can wait a bit for books I can't to get my employees paid correctly, once someone's payroll isn't right/paychecks take longer/etc it gets heated.

Another would produce books that required a lot of work from my CPA which made the CPA a lot more expensive.

I've had it pretty easy - friends of mine have had PT/local bookkeepers do every form of damage you can think of - it's a messy world for SMB books. And those are nothing compared to the carnage I've observed small biz's with an employee PT or FT in house doing the books.
Hmm, tangentially related, but how would you say SF changed? Where would you get this feeling of SF back then nowadays? Thought about giving SF a visit in summer as an aspiring software engineer & entrepreneur but curious to what you think about it.
Agreed. However, it seems that in the US especially it becomes difficult for people to make new friends after we're in our 20s. And probably even harder now than it has been in the past given the increasing preference for isolation. Instead of moving as a solution, we need to focus on helping people figure out how to form longterm friendships at every stage of life.
I've been using it for the past year and it works well.

With one exception. The couple of times I've called emergency services, they were not able to detect my location since GrapheneOS does not support the protocol for this. So, I had to waste time giving directions. It's a tradeoff for privacy vs safety.

It might be something to think about before, say, putting this on someone's phone who has a medical condition or is elderly.

As a sidenote i wonder what missile was used. The shrapnel field - close to the tail, right side, around 45 degree to the horizontal plane - suggests that the missile was chasing (not say a front attack like BUK in MH-17 case), and explosion happened somewhere behind the right engine at almost the tail distance - which possibly wouldn't damage say a significantly shorter plane like a fighter (or a drone).

Googling a bit brings various sources saying that it was Pantsir-S. Its missiles have proximity fuse and have no seeker, ie. they are guided from the launcher.
> a bug in “Archive Utility” on macOS prevents it from decompressing the resulting file

I looked into this in the past, it's because they check for a "PK" header at the start of the file - which is of course not actually required. I assumed it was deliberate because it does exclude most "weird" ZIPs.

I think a couple more have caught on, but Netflix was one of the first I think to let you press a button to finish your email login for popular email providers.

Four AI Predictions for 2025
I can relate to what you are talking, but...

1. it depends on my interest in the topic of the article. If I'm interested, I'll read the whole article, and then I'll read copyright like at the bottom of the page, just to be sure I didn't missed anything. If I'm interested then time doesn't matter, or even it matters with a negative sign: the longer I spend reading the more satisfaction I got. So "a bunch of filler" can be bad or good depending on a reader.

2. Articles mostly follow some form, if you are familiar with it you can skip big chunks of text to get to the point quickly. For example, a lot of articles of professional reporters looks like:

a. Intro that tickles curiosity but says nothing substantive

b. Jump back in time to tell the biographies of the involved people

c. The substance

d. Some form of a conclusion.

(a) is needed to detect the form of the article, (b) can be skipped easily, I scan (c) for direct quotes and read the text around them, (d) I skim to see if there are any non-obvious statements, because it may be a sign I missed something important in (c).

Non-professional writers are less predictable, because they do not follow any rules when composing text, but if you are ready to scroll back and use browser's ability to search on the page, you can extract the core message of the author in no time at all.

It's a WinForms application. However, it is indeed somewhat user-unfriendly to distribute (untrimmable) WinForms applications in a self-contained form.

It's usually much better to build them as runtime-dependent but single-file binaries.

E.g. 'dotnet publish -p:PublishSingleFile=true --no-self-contained'* produces a 5.9 MB binary (but obviously needs a .NET desktop runtime installed, it helpfully offers to do so on launch if it's missing).

I assume modifying the solution to use https://github.com/kant2002/WinFormsComInterop + NativeAOT would result in ~30-40MB binary (maybe smaller now? I haven't tested it in a while) as it packages a GUI framework. It could also help with just self-contained and getting trimming to work.

There is a bit of learning curve to all sorts of ways you can build an application with .NET but that's what you pay for having flexible choices over more limited options with Java or Go.

* also retargeted to .NET 9, there is no reason to use out-of-support targets or even sticking to LTS for a distributed application in this case.
It's not a red flag that the program does error handling. It's a red flag that the docs advertise standard filesystem error conditions as a flagship feature of this app.

Haven't quite jumped in to buy one yet but I'm thinking about it.
Either way, the association between suburbia and loneliness/isolation isn’t a universal thing.

People in Argentina definitely aren’t seeking isolation in the suburbs. They mainly seem to want more space to host gatherings of everyone they know.
Pretty much. But they may have other IDs like driving licences. And they are introducing electronic visas for immigrants.
100% this. Started out with two families buying houses near each other in a family centric LA neighborhood (Eagle Rock). Then it expanded to 3 --> 4 --> 5 all within walking distance. We all have similar aged children. It's magic. We watch each others kids, do frequent backyard/park/sleepover playdates, and help w dropoff/pickup. It makes parenting SO MUCH EASIER. I often joke that I'm not a real parent bc we have so much help. Living closer meant compromising on other decisions (ideal house/commute/etc), but proximity to friends has more than outweighed the cons. One family was living near the beach and loved it, but decided it was more impt to live near us then right on the coast.

We opt in and out as much as we'd like. It's beautiful having options, mostly for our kids, who are really thriving by having easy access to playmates. So much better than having to "blind date" other couples and their kids from daycare/activities/etc.

The hardest part is starting. It doesn't have to be a huge commune initiative. Pick one friend who has a similar lifestyle and settle down in a neighborhood withing walking distance and take it from there. Think most important time to do it is when you become a new parent, when your kids and you will want companionship but won't have the time (nor energy) to build new relationships.
The reporting suggests that the "Perfect Fit Content" scheme began in 2017 and had been rolled out on a large scale by 2023, so it's unlikely that it has been reliant on AI music. (It does seem very likely that Spotify is now at least experimenting with replacing or augmenting the ghost musicians with AI.) I don't at all accept that Spotify running a kind of self-payola system with own-brand music is only a big controversy if AI-generated tracks are involved.
I wonder how much easier coding would be if we upgrade the user. There are of course combinations of many different upgrades to consider. It would also be interesting to discover a generic update is not worth it. I do suspect some occupations that currently lack them should not go without programming skills.
Instead of replacing passports with apps, in between would support passport cards. Better to allow using national ID cards as passports. The digital data could be saved on card but with physical photo and info as backup. It also works for people without smartphone.

The US has passport cards but they only work for land and sea from Canada, Mexico, and Caribbean countries.
Vocaloids are specialized synthesizers in the traditional sense, the producer has a huge amount of control over the sound. They're not even remotely comparable to typing a prompt into Suno and letting it barf out whatever.
why not have whatever dies replaced? I will probably do that with my crappy small truck from 2006.
I don't think that humans will go extinct from climate change, but it will drastically change where we can comfortably live and will uproot our ability to make meaningful cultural and scientific progress.

In your comment above you mention:
> e.g. population aging, institutional scar tissue, dysgenics, nuclear proliferation, pandemic risks, AI itself

These are all intertwined with each other and with climate change. People are less likely to have kids if they don't think those kids will have a comfortable future. Nuclear war is more likely if countries are competing for less and less resources as we deplete the planet and need to increase food production. Habitat loss from deforestation leads to animals comingling where they normally wouldn't, leading to increased risk of disease spillover into humans.

You claim that somebody saying "climate change is one of the most difficult and worst problems of our time" is a take you're surprised to see here on HN, but I'm more surprised that you don't list it in what you consider important problems.

This is certainly a reaction to economic strangulation of a huge percentage of people in the economy. Of course, if people want to be near each other they should, but this phenomenon is a direct result of the crumbling conditions for the working class. The resurrection of third-spaces is a much better alternative than the erosion of first-spaces.

Our civil society organizations have eroded to the point that the private market has completely ended the concept of the third space. Places where community can be formed are gone; commoditized and politicized and so are not places where community can develop. Instead of the use of third-spaces we are forced to depend on our friends economically like this.

This seems like a good thing, "people are coming together, yay!" but being forced to live like this is not going to have good outcomes. These people have real issues described in the article, they need better child-care, they need closer personal roots, they need economic security. But we forcing people to make these contracts of great economic dependency, we should be more prepared to allow people to live more independently. I see this move as kin to the economic migration from the Global South today to countries like Sweden, Germany, etc. which has been causing great strife internally to those countries.
I'm very happy with YouTube Music. I pay the subscription.

That sounds like what is happening in the OP. Someone is now directly harming Nintendo's interests by sending fake DMCAs.
As it relates to book publishing, I can say from personal experience that the mass-published bookshelf is an absolute trash heap. Most genres are shadows of their former selves. All the intellectually and literarily valuable work is either in the past or self-published online due to lack of mass appeal.
It sounds like you mean the ghost music, which several people have referenced already in this comment section. That is made by real people while in the linked article they are talking about AI generated music.
> every good ship can get a new captain and sail on. If not, the problem isn't the sailors it's the captain (who set the ship before the fall).

You're seriously claiming a bad leader can't destroy a company/organization/project/country?
I play classical piano and sometimes upload to YouTube. You're right that there's no easy way to say "the person making the Content ID claim obviously doesn't own the copyright to the work in question". This happens almost every time I put a recording of myself playing Chopin, Bach, Mozart, etc and I get a notice from BMI or DG, etc.

You'd think that YouTube could at least categorize those who perform and record unambigiously public domain works and advise people using automatic match software to be _very_ sure there's an infringement.

Someday if I have time and patience, I may try to see what legal options I have against one of these deep-pocket companies who are making false (and libelous) claims about the recordings I have made. They're accusing me of theft, and it's provably false.

What's annoying is sometimes I'm on the road and don't get to responding to the request for several weeks.

Or even better, go to live shows.
People you meet later in life - even much later, even when you have a wife and kids - can absolutely come to know “the real you.” (I might describe “closeness of relationships over time” as “asymptotic, with an upper limit” or at least “with diminishing returns,” if we want to get really math-y about something that is not really measurable.)

But you have to be open to that, and it also requires a lot of social skills that are not really otherwise demanded (in fact, arguably discouraged) among, particularly, men in developer/software engineering roles.

That’s not to say that you shouldn’t maintain relationships with school friends. But, especially if none of them are nearby, you owe it to yourself and your family to build a local community for yourself that’s on that same magnitude of closeness. It’s a process that takes 5-7 years (again, just making up numbers here - this depends on your personality, how far along you are learning social skills, and who’s in your community), but the best time to start is always now.

I see numbers - time-space synaesthesia
This post is coming to me at an odd time regarding friends. On the one hand, I've rekindled some friendships with friends from high school and I'm so happy to be reconnected with them. I wish I could see them more often and spend time with them. On the other hand, I also just recently blocked the calls and emails from a long time friend. It wasn't a decision that I made lightly. Without getting into too much detail, our fairly frequent phone calls had become toxic with us arguing about politics and him lecturing me about various things (and perhaps me lecturing him too about various things).

I was recently thinking how much I would like to be closer (geographically) with my high school friends (despite the changes that we've had over the years). But in the case of my friend whose phone number I recently blocked, I'm so happy that I don't live so close that he could drop by.
Because EVs are new-ish and so mentioning them specifically is aproximate shorthand for "consumers of a certain tax bracket" so it's useful for getting those people to click on the article, hand wring, re-tweet and do all those other things that make money.
Voting is a cop-out -- It's not that I don't like your answer, but telling people who find the system to be broken "just go vote" is like telling someone who's homeless "just get a job". It's unlikely to solve the issue, and ostriching out of the actual root cause.

While a necessary part of a healthy democratic system, voting by itself does nothing to fix systemic issues, especially when those issues have to do with the voting system. The US's two-party system is a very good example of this. Election interference in romania is another.
Makes perfect sense…
A resume is a very high-ROI document.

I'm not sure something emphasising speed is a good idea, when I for one want to optimise for quality. If anything, it'd be good to have something that personalises an existing CV based on the job, prioritising certain elements over others, rather than making it from scratch.
I took a college class with a friend about 15 years ago and he was struggling to pick up the material, so I tried to help him through it. In the process, I learned how TERRIBLE his reading skills were.

He was almost 30 years old and could read at probably only 80 words per minute, about the speed many people will type. It was agonizing listening to him try to read something. It's like he was 5 years old and sounding out each word in his head before saying it.

No wonder he was struggling with the material. But the time he's finished reading a sentence, the beginning of the sentence was so long ago that he had forgotten it because all his brain power was being spent merely reading the words that there was nothing left to actually comprehend them.

Too much effort with 3D model of the castle and waterworks to be called AI garbage, don’t you find?
I still prefer radio (SiriusXM cause I don't like commercials) it has the right mix of new, "b-tracks", favorites, genres etc all without having to curate it oneself and end up with things like random AI music spam or the random unrelated track someone sneaked in to game some algorithm or whatever. Also prefer to attend smaller music festivals or live music gigs over large concerts. I just don't want to go wading through the massive amount of random music spending way too much time trying to create playlist when certain radio already does a good job of balancing new with old and far more quality than not.
